The Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) had already carried out a probe against Naveed and Yousaf in 2016. It declared Naveed guilty of embezzling Rs450 million.

The ACE in its investigation had found that Naveed had purchased 19 properties in his and his family members’ names and also unearthed his and his family members' property worth over Rs1 billion. The property has been attached and their bank accounts frozen.

Don't let corrupt family of Nawaz Sharif and Shabaz Sharif get away all the looted money. By the way, will all confiscated property be auctioned and recovered money be spent for the welfare of the poor people? Let's see, how this story progress or will die down after a while!

WOW! No wonder he is a son in law of Shabaz. Politicians or their children having a worth of billions of rupees has become a joke in Pakistan. Somebody should tell the masses where NAB was hiding during last ten years or whether they were scared and allowed looting right under their noses.

@Ash2000 Mushraf should also face the court. However, there is no charge of corruption against him so far. The charge against him is that he broke the constitution two times. Once when he took over and the other time when he declared the emergency. Yes there are charges but But Ayub, Yahya and Zia also did so and what he did by suspending the judges declaring emergency was wrong as well. This is all a bad management, illegal, wrong and very bad but not Treason. Musharaf did not shake hand with India conspiring against Pakistan and its Army.

Imran Ali Yousaf is a prime target. Nawaz and Shabaz (now older men) have both been transferring their wealth into the hands of their children and family to avoid accountability and avoid taxation.

Our country is so full of crooks! I really cannot understand how these people can embezzle so much money and buy assets from funds that belong to the poor people of Pakistan. Can't they see the little children begging on the streets, widows, old folks, disabled people suffering? How cruel one has to be to take the money that belong to such people and buy assets for oneself. How can they sleep at night?

If proven guilty, assets of people involved in corruption need to be confiscated and they should be barred from holding public office for life.

For the sake of our poor helpless people, I hope IKs government with the support of public of Pak can tackle the issue of corruption and incompetence in public offices.

99 to 100 lots in Gulberg-3A ? If you have even the slightest idea of how much each plot is worth, that's a lot of money, an average person in Pakistan can barely afford half a plot, much less 100 of them. I don't know how he was able to afford so much real estate, at his age any way. Something smells funny here.

‘The ACE in its investigation had found that Naveed had purchased 19 properties in his and his family members’ names and also unearthed his and his family members' property worth over Rs1 billion. The property has been attached and their bank accounts frozen.’ "He also owns 99 or 100 plots in Gulberg 3-A," the prosecutor continued, adding that Yousaf also owns one Madinah Feeds Mill.

These Sharifs and Zardaris are like cancer within, eating away at the fabric of society. Then people wonder how we are in an economic crisis. Shame on those who voted for them.

All this was happening when Sharifs were ruling the country. Under the protection of father in law, Shahbaz Sharif, son in law Imran Ali Yousaf became a genius enterpreneur.

the best option for govt at the moment is to take all the properties back from these looters and sell it off. as for getting their looted money from abroad will be much harder. swiss authorities have already more or less shut the door..other safe tax havens are doing the same. the reason is the money is too great and it breaks their bank. the other main reason is the big elephant doesn't want pakistan to stand on its own feet. the evidence is escalating $ rate and the crash in KSE couple of days ago !!

I cannot comprehend why some still favor deposed Nawaz and PML (N) when entire Sharif family right from top to bottom has directly or indirectly looted the country and some of the looters have proved to be extra smart that they have already left Pakistan and cannot be caught and put behind the bars. Extradition is the next option but very much regretfully due to much legality the option is not that easy to get them back to be honest though PTI is trying in this regard but perhaps it will fail though I pray that the looters must be brought back to Pakistan to face investigation. The only option left with the government is to confiscate their properties and assets but there too they have edge over the government simply because the crooked are much more smarter than NAB hawks and they have already syphoned huge money out of Pakistan and deposited in foreign banks outside Pakistan therefore even if their properties and assets are confiscated it does not hurt them the least.
